~If gel nails intimidate you (removal is kinda traumatizing), go back to basics with a really effective topcoat. A layer of this each day will extend the wear and shine of your mani.

~A really good BB cream is key for a few reasons. One: You’ll be in a hurry and grateful to consolidate your skincare and makeup routine into a single step. Two: Judging from the sweltering sun last year, you’ll need an SPF of at least 30. Three: As the week—the parties, the poor diet, the free-flowing champagne, etc.—rages on, the more coverage you can get, the better. My fave is Kiehl’s—it does everything.
